Quotes 

• Manly : [Melissa has come to see Frank in Gateway's infirmary]  ... Thirty-minute visit, Leone. Compliments of the warden. Don't waste it.

  Melissa : So how are you feeling?

  Frank Leone : Better than I was yesterday, thanks.

  Manly : Half an hour.

  [He leers at Melissa] 

  Manly : If you need any help, just give me a call, huh? I'll give her some action she'll never forget.

  [He retires] 

  Melissa : Are they all like that?

  Frank Leone : Some are worse. But don't worry about it. You look great.

  Melissa : And you look...

  Frank Leone : No, don't tell me what I look like. I'm doing my best not to think about it.

  Melissa : I've missed you so much... No more separations. Promise?

  Frank Leone : My sentiments exactly.

  [Manly reappears, leering at Melissa] 

  Manly : Nice view. Time's up, Leone.

  Melissa : What's the matter with you?

  Manly : What part of "Time's up" don't you understand?

  Melissa : The warden said half an hour.

  Manly : The warden just changed his mind.

  Melissa : What? Why? Look, I wanna talk to the warden.

  Manly : What you wanna do is keep your mouth shut, fix your clothes, and get out. Let's go, lady.

  [He grabs Melissa and drags her toward the exit] 

  Frank Leone : Don't touch her.

  [Manly turns and glares at him dangerously] 

  Manly : What did you say to me? "Don't touch her?" You're a slow learner, pal; you know that?

  Melissa : Hey, don't bother to point the way out; I'll find it on my own.

  Manly : What's your hurry, sweet-buns? Come back here anytime; *I'll* give you something to squeal over.

  [Melissa winces in disgust, then storms out] 

• Braden : [Braden finds Manly and a two other guards torturing Leone in his cell]  That's enough! Who ordered this?

  Manly : The warden. What's it to you?

  Braden : Does the warden hate this guy enough to kill him? 'Cause that ain't my job.

  Manly : Check out *Mr. Sensitive* here; he thinks we're treating Leone too rough. So who are you, one of the cops or one of the cons?

  Braden : You want me? Come on!

  [as Manly savagely turns on Braden, Meissner walks in on them] 

  Captain Meissner : Break it up...! Damn you, I said break it up! BREAK IT THE HELL UP...!

  [He forcefully parts Braden and Manly] 

  Captain Meissner : Your stick, Mister Braden.

  Manly : [to Meissner]  Warden's orders.

  [to Braden] 

  Manly : You're lucky he showed up, Pussy.

  [Braden lunges at him but is stopped by Meissner] 

  Captain Meissner : Then let me *hear* it from the warden. And *you* get out of my sight, before I shine my boots with your face... you fat piece of shit!

  Manly : [insulted]  What did you call me? Just try that, you sorry limp-dicked nigger...!

  [Meissner sends Braden's nightstick crashing into Manly's solar plexus; Manly sags to his knees, gasping and choking] 

  Captain Meissner : Get him out of my sight. Now.

  [Braden and the other guards pull Manly to his feet and haul him away] 

  Captain Meissner : And don't ever call me "sorry" again!

  [Turns back to Leone] 

  Captain Meissner : You -- Time's up. Let's go.

• Warden Drumgoole : [Leone has been tricked by Drumgoole into an escape attempt... along with Dallas, who is also being set up by the warden. As both prisoners reach Gateway's darkened steam plant, they are cornered by guards. Then Drumgoole emerges from the shadows]  Right on schedule, Frank.

  Dallas : I'm sorry, man; you were my ticket out of here.

  Frank Leone : Damn you! You had me set up the whole time?

  Dallas : Not the *whole* time. I got 30 years to go, man; I wouldn't have lasted half that long. The warden made me a deal, man!

  Warden Drumgoole : Wrong.

  [Shocked, Dallas whirls and stares at him] 

  Warden Drumgoole : I don't make deals with escaping prisoners.

  Dallas : What the hell are you talking about? You said if I...

  Warden Drumgoole : Shut up. You're going back to the population.

  Dallas : WHAT...? You can't do this to me, warden; you can't send me back to the population. They know I snitched him off! THEY'LL *KILL* ME, YOU *LYING BASTARD!*

  Warden Drumgoole : It takes one to know one, doesn't it?

  Dallas : I came through for you, goddamn it! You made me an offer, and I -- !

  Warden Drumgoole : And you were stupid enough to take it. That's your problem, not mine. Mister Manly, you know what to do.

  [Manly and the other guards beat Dallas to a pulp, while Drumgoole and a restrained Frank look on] 

  Frank Leone : That's enough.

  Manly : Go screw yourself, Leone!

  Frank Leone : You're gonna kill him!

  Manly : Yeah, one less mouth to feed; that's the fucking idea. Now sit on it!

  [Finally, Drumgoole motions for the guards to stand down; they leave a severely-pummeled and bleeding Dallas on the floor] 

  Warden Drumgoole : This is an automatic 10 years, Frank, for a second escape attempt. I knew you'd cross the line. I told them you were a hard-core criminal. They'll believe me now. And *you'd* better believe that you'll be a *guest of honor* here at Gateway, for the rest of your life. He's all yours, Mister Manly.

  Manly : Some dealmaker.

  [Manly deposits a groaning and barely-conscious Dallas in a drainage-pool] 

  Manly : See? Shit does floats, doesn't it?
